CM Punk Makes Triumphant Return to WWE Following Failed Runs in AEW and the UFC

CM Punk, the embattled pro wrestling star who made two appearances under the UFC banner between 2016 and 2018, returned to the world of sports entertainment with a shocking return at the WWE Survivor Series on Saturday night.

Following an abbreviated run with AEW that saw him feuding with everyone in the locker room before his unceremonious exit, Punk returned to WWE nearly a decade after walking away from the business altogether.

CM Punk, whose real name is Phil Brooks, has been one of the biggest pro wrestling stars over the last two decades.
